Description
A SSRF vulnerability found that enables access to internal Chrome Devtools Protocol APIs that can leak the JWT authentication token for another user. A low privileged attacker could continually exploit this vulnerability to leak the JWT authentication token for another user when they start a recording, which then enables the attacker read/write access to the victim's Whiteboard.

Score: 4.6 Medium
EPSS: n/a
KEV: No
Impact: Elevation of privileges to read/write victim's Whiteboard via leaked JWT
Action: Immediate Patch
AI Analysis

Impact

A server‑side request forgery flaw allows an attacker who has low privileges to trigger a recording session and access internal Chrome DevTools Protocol endpoints. This exposure reveals another user's JSON Web Token, which grants the attacker full read/write authority to that user's Whiteboard content. The vulnerability does not allow arbitrary code execution or direct system compromise, but it does enable persistent data theft and tampering within the affected application.

Affected Systems

The flaw is found in Nextcloud's Whiteboard component. No specific product version numbers are listed in the CNA data, so all installations of the Whiteboard plugin that contain the vulnerable code are potentially affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.6 classifies the severity as medium, and there is no EPSS data to quantify exploit likelihood; the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Because the attack requires no privileged access beyond the ability to start a recording, an attacker with limited permissions can repeatedly trigger the SSRF to obtain the token. The risk profile is moderate, but the impact on confidentiality and integrity of Whiteboard data warrants timely remediation.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the newest Nextcloud Whiteboard patch when it becomes available to eliminate the SSRF entry point.
  • If a patch cannot be applied immediately, disable the recording feature or block Chrome DevTools Protocol access in the application to prevent exploitation.
  • Configure the hosting environment to deny outbound requests from the Whiteboard service to internal network addresses, mitigating the SSRF attack surface.
